Thanks dude! Does anyone happen to know if the body will fit over top of the roll cage?

You can make the body fit over that roll cage no problem at all. I did it years ago and can't quite remember what I had to modify to do it? I took it off though as every time I landed hard on the topside of the truck the rollbar bent and I had to straighten it. Unfortunately if you plan on bashing hard that is not a good upgrade, the stock hpi plastic rollbar is better suited. If you plan on driving it rarely and it is a show piece the bar looks killer. BTW excellant choice in purchasing the savage, you will be extremely happy.

Thanks for the info dude! Hoping its a nice piece. I also ordered the 13 tooth racing clutch bell and a set of jumbo tires. Just kind of wanted a cool Monster Truck to bash around.
